Taj79 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Devon Scott with a put back tip in of a Scoochie Smith layup-in-traffic attempt with 0.9 seconds to go, plussed up to 1.0 after review. It was Dayton's first second-chance points of the game! Texas A&M almost banksin a half court three. Dayton escapes 55 to 53. Archie had the ball, tied, with about 30 seconds to go with three timeouts in his pocket and showed confidence in letting his guys run the play without a timeout. Lucky tip in. It helped that A&M plays four guards. A10 takes out the SEC. I think Dayton now has like ten or eleven consecutives wins over SEC teams in the regular season. Over 1,000 Daytonians at the game. If I were there, at age 57, I might serve to lower the average age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Anytime the A-10 can beat the SEC, its good news to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Anytime the A-10 can beat the SEC, its good news to me. Like Davell Roby basically said, the A-10 owns the SEC, so no surprise there. Looking at the box score, SVU only played 8. I wonder why the change from their 11-12 man rotations they were so successful with last year. Perhaps Archie doesn't feel like they have the same depth. It would be quite a contrast if they are playing 8 when we match up, while we throw 12 different players at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm always amazed at how well DU travels. Three years ago they came to Caharleston for the Charleston Invitational and there were SVUs everywhere. But go A-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 One other thing about SVU, they always seem to get into big time early season tourneys. Might have something to do with the way they travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Right now, Dayton only plays eight guys because the bench is light. First game, Kendall Pollard was out. Don't know why so Archie only went with seven guys (DavisD, Sibert, Pierre, Smith, DavisK, Robinson and Scott) against Alabama A&M. Pollard was back for today. Dayton lists 17 guys on their roster but Charles Cooke sits while his transfer year progresses and Steve McElvene was declared academically ineligible while the third freshman signee Detwon Rogers hasn't played yet. Don't know what that's about. So YouDee is not exactly stocked enough to go any deeper than these eight. Unless Rogers shows up and then its only nine. Uconn is up six over College of Charleston with just under 7 to play. Winner gets YouDee. I'd watch YouDee/Uconn tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Plus Dayton is already announcing they have been slected to play in next year's 2015 Orlando Classic. They won that Classic in 2011. It is played at the HP Field House on Disney's/ESPN's Sports Complex at Disney World. Other teams in the 2015 field? Xavier. Alabama. Iowa. Wichita State. Noter Damn. USC. And one to be named later. Wow! Down there once every four years, or so it seems. Anybody else jealous as me? I think we'd kill to be in that kind of group. Such items only add to SVU's self-perceived air of supremacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I don't think UConn is a great team. I didn't think they were last year either, they just got hot when it mattered. This is a winnable game for SVU. Looking at SVU's roster, I think we match up quite well. Sibert v. Ash. They have a couple solid bigs, but are not an overly big team. They start three guards. Our depth may cause them problems. I expect a split. We get the second game at the Fetz on Feb. 10, and the kids should be battle tested by then and rolling.

So, yeah, it was up here and your head was down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
